In Mandarin, the third tone sandhi is a key pronunciation rule every learner should know.

• The rule: if two consecutive syllables both carry a third tone, the first shifts to a rising tone.
• Key example: in 你好, the first syllable rises to a second tone for smoother flow.
• Further illustrations: 可以 (kě yǐ) is spoken as ké yǐ, meaning "can" or "may".
• Real impact: skipping this rule makes your speech sound choppy and unnatural to native ears.

An experienced Chinese tutor will correct your tones in real time so you improve faster.
